Medical Response to Child Sexual Abuse: A Resource for Professionals Working with Children and Families was specifically developed to provide the necessary information for equipping clinicians, nurses, and other medical professionals with the essential tools for navigating the vexing territory of child sexual abuse. The sexual mistreatment of children remains a difficult and often disturbing challenge for medical providers. In addition to the rapidly expanding and often counterintuitive research on genital injury and healing, clinicans are also faced with complex and frequently painful emotional issues, a need to work productively and openly with nonmedical interdisciplinary team members, and the possibility of being called to provide testimony in the uncomfortable and sometimes adversarial courtroom.

Written in a frank, plainspoken manner from the vantage of nationally recognized experts, this encyclopedic reference covers all manifestations of abuse, including physical, psychological, and sexual signs. No other reference treats the topic of child maltreatment so completely, giving the practitioner an understanding only years of clinical work could rival. This is especially apparent in its coverage of sexual abuse. While addressing the physical findings, including STDs, in depth, this text emphasizes the most important components of the process-disclosure by, and interview of, the suspected victim.
